BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to a hat, more particularly to ahat with a solar system.

2. Description of the Prior Art

With the population of outdoor sports and free time activities, suchproducts may be advanced as well in order to meet the requirements ofmodern people. Electric power is a must to outdoor sports and free time,and the present power supply is generally a generator or the battery ofa vehicle. Due to the reasons of a heavy weight, a huge volume,difficulty to carry, and burning fuel of the generator, that is to say,generator is not meeting the requirements of environment protection. Thebattery of the car has some problems same as the generator's, such asheavy weight, difficulty to carry, etc. Further, in the case of electricpower being out, to find another external power source will be anotherserious problem.

With reference to FIG. 9, which is a portable battery box 100 developedby people skilled in the art. As a matter of fact, the battery box 100is not convenient to be carried out, since the battery box 100 charginga charged battery set 120 through an input end 110 is only by a regularcharger. If the battery box 100 is carried to a site without any regularcharger or power supply, the electric power of the batter box 100 beingout will be happening sooner or later; another case of forgettingcharging the battery box 100 before going outdoors, the convenience andpersistence are very limited.

Therefore, how to figure out the disadvantages of the prior arts is animportant issue to the skilled people in the related field.

The improvements of the present invention according to abovedescriptions are then as follows:

-   1. The present invention absorbs light via the solar panel on the    body so as to charge the battery of the power supply device, which    continuously provides power while the present invention is being    applied in an outdoors.-   2. The lighting device on the brim can be controlled by the switch,    so that the present invention has the functions of lighting and    safety reminder.-   3. In addition to the solar panel, the power supply device is able    to charge the battery via the transformer electrically connected to    the plug. Further, the computer provides power to the power supply    device via the USB slot in order to charge the battery. Hence, the    charging way of the power supply device is more diversiform, so that    the convenience is improved.

Other and further features, advantages, and benefits of the inventionwill become apparent in the following description taken in conjunctionwith the following drawings. It is to be understood that the foregoinggeneral description and following detailed description are exemplary andexplanatory but are not to be restrictive of the invention.
